Paolo Di Canio Coming to League 2

[marky No.1]

As Swindon Manager

He was aiming to go to West Ham, but as the West Ham Chief has stated:
"The problem with Paolo is, although the fans would love it, I am being realistic and he has no experience whatsoever being a manager,"

Swindon have preferrred to go for a "name" instead. Looking forward to seeing Jimbo pit his wits against the Italians!

You watch, we'll get Swindon at home first game now ....... !!

Imagine the interest that would be generated if that came off !

I know what you mean Seasider....all those Swindon fans heading north to see the great man take charge of his first league game. There's only one Jimbo!

Was just listening to this on the radio in the car, didn't catch it all but there was something about fans not wanting him because he is a fascist, also something about a salute he made which was linked to Neo Nazism. Who ever they were talking to on behalf of Di Canio was denying it, though not that he is a fascist.

After returning to Lazio, he was pictured making a raised-arm fascist salute to a group of the club's supporters, and claimed to be "a fascist, not a racist".

That clears that up then

I can't see him lasting, he'll get bored and he'll be gone by Christmas (at the very latest).

He won't even last until Christmas if he still thinks referees are a push over.

That looks like something out of a Hitler Rally during the war, shocking and the look on his face is quite disturbing to say the least.

Di Canio wants to create a link between swindon and AC Milan! could be seeing some future italian superstars in League 2 next season!

And Harry Redknapp said he'll help him out with players next season aswell!
